Re: Sansa Fuze Firmware Update

Because If I am in my car or at a out some place I need to add shows on the fly to my golist. my c250 does this perfectly. I'll add my daily shows to the go list and have them play so I don't have to pull over and select another show when I am out. OR at night time when I am upstairs I'll be adding two or three shows to my list and plug the player into the stereo. Most of the time, it's plugged into a stereo system not the headphones. This is my forth SanDisk product and this is the only one that doesn't let you move Podcasts to a go list. IF I had of known this before hand I would never have bought it, and if SanDisk does this with any of its future products too. that it, THIS IS MY LAST SANDISK PRODUCT. It's stupid that I have to rename the Genres for all my podcasts or as you say make a custom play list. I don’t have a notebook with me all the time and it's stupid that I would need one just to add three or four shows to a play list. Doesn't seem like a hard request to me, after all my c250 c150 512mb SanDisk players all could do this. Don’t' see why this product couldn't do that too. That’s why it upsets me... is all.

Re: Sansa Fuze Firmware Update

Slot, can you comment on the corruption of my ID tags after the update? I don't think it can just be me since my brother told me he had the same problem. I'm not mad, but I don't want it ignored since I have to fix it and then wait for the media to refresh. New wallpapers though, keep it in mind.

Re: Sansa Fuze Firmware Update

1.# a)What does the Pregain function do - does it work only for songs with replay gain info, for all, or for all witout replaygain?

1.# b)For which filetypes does replaygain work? All with tags where replaygain information is encoded (so WMA too?) or only mp3?

Suggestions:

2.# It would be great if one could switch off indexing alltogether - I use folder navigation now and am happy about it

Thanks a lot for the update. I know for sure that I will be amongst the first to try out rockbox once it's availabe, but I could live without it now too. Time to get one of those rare 32GB microSD cards now so that I can more or less move my whole media collection over....

BTW for new features: You forgot to mention that in trackinfo the whole filename is shown now, including the ending!!!! So it's easy to look up what audio compression is used for a song!

Re: Sansa Fuze Firmware Update

I've registered just to share my (somewhat) frustrating experience with the new firmware. I was excited at first, but after I loaded the firmware on my (V1, 8GB Silver) fuze, I was shocked to find that my fuze refused to turn on after the update, which apparently went well. I found that the only way to get my fuze to turn back on again was to do a reset (holding the power switch up for about 15 seconds). This works inconsistently, and I have to try more than once for it to work. No amount of 'regular' turning on (just flicking the switch up for a short while) will get it to turn on until I've done the reset.

Also, normally the fuze will turn on automatically after I connect it to my PC. However, now when I connect it, it remains shut off and XP refuses to recognize its existence. It doesn't even seem to charge.

When it does turn on, it acts absolutely normal - it loads, plays music, everything. It even connects correctly and without problems to my PC. Hoping that it would fix the problem, I re-transferred the firmware over to the fuze, which updated again. The problems remain.

This all happened right after I installed the new firmware. I've had the player since Christmas and this is the very first problem I've ever had with it. I only hope that there is a way to fix this without having to format the player (though my music collection isn't particularly large, it is tedious to transfer it all with my old, slow 1.0 USB Ports (or so I assume, as whenever I connect a USB device, it always says it would be better to connect it via a "HI-SPEED USB 2.0 Port" or something like that)).

Thanks in advance for any advice. I'll probably try formatting if nothing else seems to help.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go eat dinner real quick .

Edit: I don't use any memory cards.

I would try resetting the device to factory settings then hold the power switch up for about 10 sec to reset the fuze, then try reloading the firmware. if you are still having issues you will want to format the fuze and reload the firmware and then the files.i would use the format option in the fuze settings menu. this will most likely resolve the issues you are having.

you seem to be the only one having this issue. i would try deleting the files with the issue and reloading them. should fix your issue.
